Meet 9-year-old Jeremiah! Jeremiah was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis, a condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and fatigue. Despite these challenges, he remains a bright and determined young boy who continues to inspire everyone around him.
Jeremiah has a variety of interests that bring him joy. He loves to read and is currently making his way through the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. One of his favorite ways to relax is by curling up on the couch with his mom to watch Blippi videos on YouTube. A quiet thinker with a curious mind, Jeremiah excels in science class and enjoys exploring how the world works.
When it comes to food, he’s a picky eater with strong opinions—his favorite meal is chicken nuggets, but only if they’re from Chick-fil-A! He also enjoys swimming in his free time, which helps him stay active while doing something he loves.
Though Jeremiah is soft-spoken and tends to stay in his own world, he has a kind and gentle spirit that touches the lives of those around him.
Thanks to GTE Financial Cares, Jeremiah has received the adaptive tricycle he needed! This specialized therapy trike will help him continue physical therapy from the comfort of his home. It will strengthen his muscles, improve his balance, and promote independence—all while giving him a fun and engaging way to stay active.
